THE NON-SPORT PAGE

DO YOU HAVE THIS PROMO CARD?

I am an Avid collector of Non-Sport trading cards. If you are looking for anything please let me know!

I am pleased to tell the world that I am the proud owner of a complete gold and silver bordered set of Chris Achellios fantasy art cards! It took me two years to complete the set and I had the pleasure of meeting many folks from a few countries. Recently a friend also completed a set and is looking to see if anyone is interested. Though how he can part with them I'll never know!

A brief history:

Non-sport cards have been around for well over 100 years! They have included every topic you can think of from plants to space, police to criminal.

The earliest cards came in food products or tobacco. The artwork is stunning considering the technology of the time.

Card companies of today often offer "cross-over" sets to encourage new people into the hobby. This is not a new idea! One of the finest sets was done in 1888 and was called Foreign Postage Stamps. The cards were scenes from inside a post office and each had a stamp on it from a different country.

Collecting non-sport cards used to be a "closet" hobby but today is enjoyed by all ages, male and female.

Current releases include topics from all subjects. If you want to find out more pleaseemail me and I will try to help!

Gaming Cards are also an interest of mine!!
